Mission Statement

The O'Briens have been in the cosmetology business for over 60 years. Starting in the early 1950s, they were the first to open first floor locations next to high-end retail stores, developing new concepts such as "no appointment necessary" walk-in services. With the cosmetology business expanding and the need for young skilled stylists the O'Briens opened Vermont College of Cosmetology in 1964.
